585.05 is what percent of 643 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 643 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 643, so we can write it down as 100%=643.
4. We know, that x% equals 585.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=585.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=643
2) x%=585.05
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=643/585.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 585.05 is what percent of 643

100%/x%=643/585.05
(100/x)*x=(643/585.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0990513631314*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0990513631314) to get x
100/1.0990513631314=x
90.987558320373=x
x=90.987558320373

now we have:
585.05 is 90.987558320373% of 643
